A New Feature: Torture or Treat

I want to get a little more interactive with the on average 20 or so readers who stumble on this site every day. I’m introducing a new feature, Torture or Treat. Recommend anything, movies, music, television shows, books(I’ll regret that), and I’ll determine, as the title says, whether they are Torture or a Treat. I already started taking suggestions on Twitter, which is where my initial list is derived, but I’m still taking new recommendations, both in the comments on this blog and on the aforementioned twitter. I’m sure you are dying to know my opinion on something you hold very near and dear. Let me embrace it with you, or tear it asunder and chastise it.

Also, if you’re diving into Miyazaki, I think “Castle in the Sky” is a better place to start. It’s fun, it’s light-hearted, it’s full of action, and there’s lots of flying sequences. It’s probably his most purely entertaining film, and a nice toe-dip into the water before plunging into something heaver like Nausicaa.
